    Epoxy recommendation for coil ear fix

    Nate -- I'd be curious to see what type of epoxy the manufacturers recommend. . A report back, if you think of it, on what you find out, would be interesting, and possibly helpful to others. Steve

    Epoxy recommendation for coil ear fix

    Natedogg -- sprchng's advice in his post is, in my view, ALMOST spot on. Abrading the surfaces with sandpaper, cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust/grease, etc. And yes, hitting it with a low flame from a propane torch is also valuable -- especially for many of the "harder to bond"...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Odanscoils, got it! Yes, I plan to work on a design for Manticore lower rods, but that plastic piece in the end of the lower rod will take a good bit of work to "emulate." It's a bit of a complex piece, threaded on one side (i.e. there is no real "nut" for the "coil bolt," but instead the...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    In Equinox 900 lower rods, or in the Manticore shaft Odanscoils mentioned? Steve

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Odanscoils, I won't be able to do complete shafts for the Manticore, at least not anytime soon, and perhaps not at all. I may be able to eventually do lower rods for the Manticore, and possibly middle shafts. BUT -- the upper shaft of the Manticore has two plastic parts epoxied onto the...

    Manticore's Scores for the week

    Jeff, WOW. OUTSTANDING digs! They really are... BUT -- the MOST IMPORTANT thing I want to know -- given that you are talking "one-way signals" == are your LIMITS settings (expecially your "upper limits"). I don't think that a good many folks realize how adjusting your limits settings (up, or...

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    Odanscoils -- thanks for letting me know that you'd be interested. I've been moving forward on this, as I realize it may be awhile before Minelab has spare lower rods available, and yet many folks already have several coils, from their 600/800, that some will want these new-size lower rods for...

    Great afternoon hunt with 900 silver

    LOL!! :D

    Lower rods on Equinox 700/900

    mepot -- THANK YOU for the kind words! They are trying to, LOL! With that said, I'm looking into the possibility of making lower rods for the 700/900 -- at least so that folks can get spares, for some of their other coils, while Minelab does not have lowers available. Steve

    Great afternoon hunt with 900 silver

    Mark -- your thread title reads a bit more impressively than your actual hunt however...as it says you got "900 silver" on your afternoon hunt, though it was actually four... :LOL:

    Wow, NICE dig! I've never dug one, even being here in Oklahoma, where such a find might be expected... VERY nice! Steve

    Very nice/great condition CTX-3030 including all three coils, to trade for Explorer SE Pro or E-Trac, plus cash...

    Terry, Just replied to your PM; I'm interested, but want to hold out for a bit, if that's OK, to see if anyone has an SE Pro they'd like to trade (I'm MUCH more familiar with Explorers, than the E-Trac).\\ THANKS! Steve

    Very nice/great condition CTX-3030 including all three coils, to trade for Explorer SE Pro or E-Trac, plus cash...

    Hi all! I have a very nice CTX 3030, including all accessories except headphones, that has been largely collecting dust in the closet for the past few years. However, as a long-time FBS (Explorer) user, I can't quite bring myself to be completely "FBS-less" in my arsenal! Since I ran an...

    The mythical Beast really does exist :)

    Certainly, my friend. I was looking for the same type of video that you mentioned that you are, and I had watched this one (that someone else had posted on one of the forums) awhile back, and found it to be just what I was looking for. And my timing in going back to find that video for you was...

    Dealer called, Manticore being shipped.

    Congrats! I got a similar message from my dealer, as well. I hope to have it Monday. Looks like the "occasional drip" of Manticores shipping to customers is at least starting to turn into a "steady trickle..." Steve
